# Art Informel carries the structure. Tachisme appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Art Informel (Style, 1945–1960) and its accent from Tachisme (Style, 1945–1960). Structural cues: Traces of impasto and scratching; Stains that never settle into form; A range of earth and ash tones; Tears and exposure of the support. Accent cues, used sparingly: Accumulations of stains and drips; Marks of rapid gesture; Arrangements without a centre; Contrast with reserves of white ground. Composition: Centreless fields running to the edge, composed by density rather than by figure. Type and lettering: Few words set large, part of them buried in the scratched surface. Let one material quality come from the second style: Fluid ink and thinned paint that stains, drips and splashes on a white ground. Mood: Technology, Play, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Postwar Abstract Painting, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Art Informel: Avoid faking the texture with clean digital filters—the style lives on real material resistance, and simulated grunge reads instantly as decor.
# - Tachisme: Avoid retouching or composing the splash after the fact—corrected gestures lose the recorded speed that is the style's entire content.
